Coherence Between Climate and Land Use Polices of the European Union, Brazil, and Indonesia: A Primer to Analyze Potential GHG Leakage

Environmental Policy and Governance, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Incoherence between national land use policies may weaken climate mitigation efforts by creating conditions under which agricultural and forestry production and GHG emissions are displaced across borders (leakage). Coherence depends on constellations and prioritization of national policy aims in land use (production) and climate (conservation).

Drained and forgotten peat extraction sites: economic and carbon impacts of peat and water loss in spontaneously forested Lithuanian peatlands

Przegląd Naukowy Inżynieria i Kształtowanie Środowiska
This study examines the condition and environmental impact of abandoned peatland quarries in Lithuania. Using spatial data and field investigations, we identified 33 abandoned peat quarry sites covering over 3,854 ha, which were abandoned between 1940 ...

Decoupling climate and human impacts on the nitrogen cycle during the Irish Bronze Age

Journal of Quaternary Science, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Disentangling climate variability and human activity in past nitrogen cycling is key to understanding ecosystems. Previous studies in Ireland observed a widespread, permanent shift in terrestrial nitrogen cycling during Later Prehistory, potentially linked to intensifying land‐use.

Aquatic and Littoral Successions in Various Post‐Mining Sites—Patterns and Possible Use in Ecological Restoration

Land Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Vegetation succession in aquatic and littoral habitats has received much less attention than terrestrial habitats have. We sampled differently aged successional stages at five different types of post‐mining sites, that is, sandpits, stone quarries, clay quarries, brown coal spoil heaps and black coal subsidences, across the Czech Republic ...

Predictive model for California Bearing Ratio (CBR) in expansive coastal subgrades: a rapid geotechnical assessment for degraded and marginal lowland areas

Journal of Degraded and Mining Lands Management
In geotechnical engineering, professional actions and expert judgment are often essential in soil investigation methods. In lowland and coastal areas, expansive, fine-grained soils and sandy sedimentation lead to reduced bearing capacity, posing ...

_Sphagnum_ Mosses Cultivated in Outdoor Nurseries Yield Efficient Plant Material for Peatland Restoration

Mires and Peat, 2018
_Sphagnum_ mosses are often reintroduced for peatland restoration or needed for the initiation of cultivation basins for _Sphagnum_ farming. Finding _Sphagnum_ dominated peatland where plant collection is permitted can be challenging and hampers peatland

The health impacts of Indonesian peatland fires

Environmental Health, 2022
Background Indonesian peatlands have been drained for agricultural development for several decades. This development has made a major contribution to economic development. At the same time, peatland drainage is causing significant air pollution resulting

Does Palsa Thaw in Northern Finland Contribute to Remobilisation of Metals Accumulated in Peat Into Surface Waters?

Land Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Permafrost is rapidly degrading in the sporadic zone, including palsa mires in Scandinavia. Peatlands in the area have likely accumulated heavy metals from atmospheric deposition of industrial contaminants in the wider region. As the palsa mire chemical composition is not well known, and in other permafrost regions the permafrost thaw may ...

Responses of soil enzyme activities and bacterial community structure to different hydrological regimes during peatland restoration in the Changbai Mountain, northeast China

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2022
Appropriate hydrological management is critical for peatland restoration. An important prerequisite for peatland restoration is a recovery of soil biological processes.
